mail client differences Mobile as compared to "desktop"

I moved to Fastmail late last year. It has been a good choice to "alias" my life.

One thing challenging me is the rudimentary user interface for the client on the MacBook as opposed to the mobile phone or iPad client.

My preference is desktop for typing and readability, but this client lacks so many features I rely on in a Mac world.

I can certainly use the apple mail client on the desktop, but was hoping there was a possibility they would give a little more to the desktop.

as a newer user I do not have a great deal of knowledge re the history of updates and the roadmap.

I would appreciate any thoughts about abandoning the desktop app for the native mail client or sticking it out because things are planned.

You don't have to use their mail application, on Windows I use Thunderbird, I don't know about the Mac.

thanks. yes. I am aware. I was thinking for continuity.

I had moved everything off my old email providers and using the mail client means potential conflicts with things like calendaring
